Some recipes call for clarified butter. This is unsalted butter that is slowly melted, allowing the milk solids to collect on the bottom. The clear (clarified) top is poured off and used in recipes. Its smoking point is much higher than butter. Clarified butter does not have as rich a taste as butter.
